Watermelon Seeds Spice Powder | Tarbooj Podi | Step by Step Recipes
Ingredients
- 3/4 Watermelon Seeds
- 7 - 8 Dry Red Chillies
- 4 - 5 cloves Garlic
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash and shade dry the water melon seeds. Else, if you get from store you can directly go ahead with the procedure.
- Heat a pan and dry roast the seeds first. When they are roasted on all sides, remove and keep it aside.
- Then, roast the red chilies and keep it aside.
- When both seeds and chilies are cooled, take them in a mixer and grind to a fine powder. When it is all done, finally add the peeled chopped garlic cloves. Pulse it well.
- Remove and add the salt. Spread the powder on a plate for it to get dried.
Notes
- Since you are using garlic, this needs to be dry before storing it. Else, it may not stay good for more than a couple of days. The best part is, that the aroma is still intact after shade drying the spice powder.
- The outer skin need not be removed, but if you are not able to get a very fine powder, you can sieve the podi.
- Serve with rice or dosas. You can make a paste of this with little ghee and spread over dosa to make spicy dosas.
